Organ Grinders in New York City
By Brian Flora 

I have just posted an article at my site about the life of the
itinerant organ grinder in New York City.  The article, "Music of
the Street", is from an 1867 issue of Harper's Weekly.  So much for
the "good old days"!

The URL for the page is http://www.floraco.com/organs/harpers
